That afternoon, Chen Dong stayed by the sea for a long time, until the sun began to set and the fiery clouds turned the western sky red, dyeing the seawater a deep dark red, before he parted ways with Wolong and the others.
After being exposed to the sea breeze for so long, Chen Dong felt as if he had become a pillar of salt eroded by the wind.
With impurities removed, it becomes lighter and more vibrant.
So, on the way back, although I was a little hungry, I was full of energy.
Left with no other choice, he could only ask Ah Long to look around for something good to eat so he could have a little something to tide him over.
Upon closer inspection, there was indeed a pleasant surprise.
A small shop that sells paparazzi noodles.
Dog-shaped rice noodles are considered one of the top delicacies in Hong Kong.
There are various accounts of the origin of the name "Paparazzi Fans," but it has nothing to do with the well-known paparazzi.
Some say it originated from a filial son who was the ninth in his family and cooked a delicious bowl of noodles for his father on New Year's Eve, which was called "Nine Son Noodles". Others say it originated from "relief noodles" of a relief organization during the Anti-Japanese War. Still others say it was named after the dog-tail-shaped noodles made by Shunde people who came to Hong Kong to make a living.
A large group of people rushed into the store, instantly filling it to capacity.
Shortly after ordering, the paparazzi noodles were served.
It was simple and unadorned, with thick and slightly long noodles at the bottom, resembling both porridge and soup, and garnished with scallions, preserved radish, and pork cracklings.
Its taste was delicious, and since Chen Dong and the others were also a bit hungry, no one held back and kept putting food into their mouths with their chopsticks.
The way Wolong, Fox, and others ate the noodles in particular exuded a sense of boldness.
The shop owner was very happy, but also a little strange, as he watched these well-dressed people eating his noodles, which seemed to taste incredibly delicious.
After all, successful people often look down on this kind of food and go to eat Western food, which is made with great care.
Chen Dong didn't understand what the boss was thinking.
If he knew, he would say that although he and his men were rich, they were still just ordinary people.
Wolong and the others had large appetites, so they each had an extra bowl of noodles.
Even so, Wolong asked the shop owner to serve him a mixed stew, which he enjoyed immensely with the fox, tiger, and other creatures.
Their behavior truly astonished the shop owner.
He never expected that these people in front of him would have such a large appetite.
There was no way around it; Wolong and his men were the type who required a lot of physical activity, which was how they were in the military.
Because of the large amount of training required every day, it is essential to ensure sufficient energy intake.
Their appetite is much smaller now than it was when they were in the army.
After all, although he still actively participates in various training sessions every day after leaving the military, his activities have decreased compared to before.
In addition, following Chen Dong meant they ate better food than they did in the army, which gradually changed their digestive systems, making them more adapted to the current situation.
After finishing his meal and leaving the house, he picked up Zhou Huimin on his way home from get off work.
The two ate and chatted together, spending a wonderful evening.
...
The next day, people discovered that many newspapers had published news exposing Li Ka-shing's true colors.
Although the different newspapers had different perspectives, they all revealed a series of brilliant moves by Li Ka-shing and pointed out the coincidences involved.
These reports sparked widespread discussion.
A stock market battle has caused many people to lose a significant amount of their wealth.
Every now and then, news comes that someone has jumped off a building or fled because they were unable to repay huge debts.
Many people, especially those who suffered significant losses in this stock market crash, expressed righteous indignation.
In contrast, Lee Group's stock rebounded from its low and reached a new high.
The Lee Group's market value continues to rise, once again attracting enthusiastic attention from many investors.
The Li Group and its stakeholders also gained huge profits from this incident, and were overjoyed and in high spirits.
At this very moment, these reports emerged one after another, prompting people to delve deeper into this stock incident and uncover some of the Li family's actions involved.
As a result, they discovered a lot and realized the Li family's underhanded dealings.
Many people believe they were fooled and deceived by the Li Group, resulting in their investment failures and total loss.
Meanwhile, Li Ka-shing was arranging his wife's funeral.
Li Zeju was devastated, believing that his failure to return in time and stop his mother led to this tragedy.
Of course, the Li family claimed that she died of cardiac arrest caused by a drug overdose.
Many people felt a sense of schadenfreude upon hearing this news, and some even discussed it among themselves.
It is said that this is Heaven's way of punishing Li Ka-shing for doing something immoral.
In a short period of time, the rumor spread far and wide.
Many people even believed it to be true.
After all, in Hong Kong, feng shui, physiognomy, and the supernatural are highly sought after, and a considerable number of people firmly believe in them.
When Chen Dong heard this rumor, he simply laughed it off.
In his view, there are indeed many mysterious things in this world, and whether there is retribution is hard to say.
I don't know whether my rebirth belongs to the scientific or the mystical realm.
However, if I can be reborn, then there must be many other mysterious things involved.
Originally, Chen Dong thought that the world was just like that. Although there were many mysterious things, they were just the wonders of nature and creation.
However, looking back on his rebirth journey, his attitude towards things he didn't believe in before has been quietly changing.
